Oliver is going after one of his targets on the list when he gets to the guys apartment and see that he has already been taken by someone. Later, there is a video sent out to everyone's cellphone and computer in the city. The video is of a man known as the Savior trying to get justice for what happened to his wife. He gives the lister a chance to explain himself and then the lister was shot. The savior also did this to a DA who had dropped charges on a criminal. After the DA had his ten minutes to explain he was shot as well. Oliver was trying to find the Savior and stop him, but it was like they were always in the same place but not in the same place. Soon Diggle remembered that there used to be subway tunnels under the city and that might be where this guy was broadcasting from.

Later that night Thea went to see Roy because he was supposed to start working at Verdant but had never shown up to work. They got into a fight but then the Savior showed up and took Roy captive. Thea ran to Verdant where Tommy and Oliver were talking, and Oliver realized that something was wrong.

"What's wrong Thea?" Oliver asked.

"My friend Roy was just kidnapped." Thea said.

About that time the tv switched over to the video with the Savior on it and he had Roy on Camera. Thea was very upset when she saw this. "I will find your friend, Thea. I promise. Tommy stays with her.

Oliver then went to the basement of the club and changed into his suit and asked, "Where is the subway car at right now Felicity?"

"You can catch it at the next platform. That would be 10th Street." Felicity said.

Oliver left the lair and got to the platform as the subway car was going by. He got on the car and then came face to face with the Savior. Oliver threw one of his mini arrows near Roy's hands so that he could cut himself free while he tried to talk the Savior down.

"You need to give the kid a chance to right his wrongs." The Hood said.

"People like him didn't give my wife a chance so why do they deserve a chance?" the Savior asked.

"Because some people will do better if given the chance." The Hood said.

"They didn't give my wife a chance, so I won't give him a chance." The Savior said as he aimed his gun at Roy.

"Don't do it." The Hood said as he released the arrow ad killed the Savior.

Later that night Roy showed up at Verdant and he and Thea hung out, which is when Oliver realized that they were probably more than friends. This was the night that Roy Harper decided that he needed to find the Hood and say thank you for saving his life.

A few days later Quentin comes to Verdant about a case where a girl was killed in the middle of the street when she was hit by a car. It turns out that the girl was on Vertigo and she had been at the club earlier that night. Quentin thinks that Tommy had something to do with this because the girl had texted him earlier in the night.

The Hood shows up at the asylum and questions the Count, but he seems to be crazy, but he can't rule the man out because it would be possible for him to have people outside of the asylum working for him.

Later the Count breaks out of the asylum and Oliver thinks that he should have killed him when he had the chance.

Being that Quentin thinks that Tommy might have something to do with this he goes and gets a warrant and comes back to check the club out because Tommy paid ten thousand dollars to the inspector to pass the club. Oliver then wonders why Tommy might have done this and starts to think the Quentin might be right. When Quentin gets there with the warrant, they have to let him downstairs and all there are crates of alcohol. Once Quentin leaves Oliver and Tommy have words for Oliver not believing him Tommy.

Later Oliver comes back down to the lair and Felicity has a location for Oliver to check out. It looks like it was the asylum which means that the Count was just working there and had never escaped. Once there Oliver gets knocked out and is tied to a table and is dosed with Vertigo. Diggle comes in and helps him get free and gives Oliver the antidote so that he throws up the Vertigo. Oliver is still feeling the effects of the Vertigo, but he goes and kills the doctor who had made the Vertigo. He left the Count alive because he was just a crazy man now.

That night when Oliver got back to the club Tommy told him that he quit because he didn't trust Oliver anymore and that he was going to go work with Malcolm and the family company. Oliver also decided that he would help Diggle take down Deadshot who was the man who had killed Andy Diggle who was Diggle's brother.

A week later Oliver and Laurel were supposed to be going out for lunch, but when he showed up Laurel had to ask for a raincheck because her clients were there to meet with her. Oliver met the family and he left to let Laurel get to work on her case.

Later that night the Moore's were killed in their home and it was lucky that the boy was still alive. Laurel was not able to go after Rasmus anymore because the Moore's were dead, but she decided that she would keep the boy, Taylor, until his other family got to town to pick him up.

Tommy came over to Laurel's apartment and they were just watching after Taylor when a supposed policeman shows up and Laurel doesn't recognize the badge, so the man breaks in and tries to kill them, but the hood intervenes.

Tommy, Laurel, and Taylor then go to the Queen mansion to stay the night because of all the security that is there. Oliver then said he was going to help Diggle with Deadshot, but he found out the Rasmus was escaping so he decides to go after him instead. Once Rasmus was in custody, his hitman comes in and acts as his lawyer and then kills Rasmus. The hitman then goes to Queen mansion and kills all the guards and turns the electricity off. Oliver looks Laurel, Tommy, and Taylor in the room and then goes and fight the hitman and he finally ends up killing the hitman with a fire poker.

After that is over Diggle and Oliver get in an argument because Oliver chose Laurel over him. Diggle ended up quitting because he knew that Oliver would always pick Laurel.

"Seriously. You quit because he picked to protect a kid over going after a hitman?" Sara asked Diggle.

"Yeah. That looks kind of stupid on my part now. Although in the heat of the moment I can see why I thought that." Diggle said.

"Well, that is might shallow of you." Sara said.

A week later Oliver is taking down and accountant and he steals his computer so that they can get the information that they need. Felicity breaks into the computer and finds out that it has something to do with Walter's disappearance. It has to do with a man named Dominic Alonzo who runs a underground Casino.

Oliver can't go in because a person like him would never go there, so that only left Felicity. Once Felicity was in, she started winning a lot which caused her to be taken back the Alonzo's office and to be thrown out of the casino forever. Oliver then broke in as the Hood and took all of the guards out. He then questioned Alonzo about Walter's disappearance. He said that he heard Walter being killed.

After receiving this information, Oliver went to tell Moira and Thea. Moira was upset by this and went to talk to Malcolm who showed her that Walter was still alive. They didn't know that Oliver had followed Moira there and he now knew that Malcolm was the running the organization that he was trying to stop. Oliver told Felicity to track Malcolm's last call and got the location of Walter. Oliver went in and took out all of the guards and rescued Walter. Later Oliver is with his family at the hospital, he then leaves the room and see Malcolm coming his way.

"How is Walter, Oliver?" Malcolm asked.

"He is doing good. He is glad to be back with his loved ones." Oliver said.

"I am sure he is. I will go and stop by for a few minutes and see for myself." Malcolm said as he Left Oliver.

Oliver then came face to face with Laurel who was there to check on everyone now that Walter was back. "I just wanted to see how everyone was doing." Laurel said.

"Everything is good." Oliver said.

"Ollie, I talked to Tommy today because he has been acting so weird lately. He told me it is because he is in live with me, but he says that you are a well. I don't know why he would think that, and it definitely shouldn't stop us all from being friends." Laurel said.

"I am still in love with you Laurel, but I can't be with you Laurel." Oliver said.

"Why not?" Laurel asked.

"Because I am not a good person, and I can't bring you down with me." Oliver said as he walked off.

Oliver then goes to Diggle's and apologizes and tells him what he has found out and asks him to come back and help with the mission and Diggle agrees.

The next week the Dark Archer is seen in a lab where he kills all of the scientists who have been working on the device that Malcolm's group is going to use to destroy the Glades.

In order to get the information that they need Oliver comes up with a plan to get his mother to talk. Diggle dresses up as the Hood and takes Oliver and Moira hostage. He interrogates Moira but instead of using force on Moira he punches Oliver. Moira comes clean and tells them everything that she knows. Oliver, Diggle, and Felicity then break into Merlyn Global to get the information that they need because they needed a direct link to the network and couldn't just hack into it from the outside.

Oliver had talked to Tommy and told him that just because they were having a hard time being friends that that didn't mean that Tommy and Laurel couldn't be friends. Tommy agreed and he said that he would go and talk to Laurel later. That night Oliver knew that he was going to be able to stop being the Hood soon, so he decided to go to Laurel's apartment and act on his feeling toward her. The two of them made love that night. Unfortunately, Tommy had seen this from the street, and he was not happy about it, so he left.

Malcolm is now having the device moved somewhere in the city. Oliver goes in to take him out and try to stop the Undertaking. This is where Oliver finds out that Malcolm is the other archer. Malcolm ends up beating Oliver and ends up finding out that Oliver is the Hood.

Roy is now trying to find the vigilante so that he can join him, and Thea does not think too much of that and it hurts their relationship some.

Oliver has now been chained to the ceiling and Malcolm tells him why he is doing what he is doing. Once Malcolm leaves, he is able to free himself and take out most of the guards and Diggle took out the one who Oliver didn't take care of. Oliver then goes and talks to his mom about the Undertaking and when it was going to happen. Moira got a call from Malcolm saying that the attack was going to happen that night. Oliver left because his mother was to worried about protecting him and Thea to give him any information. "Someone has to do something about this, and I guess it is going to have to be me if you won't step up and do something." Oliver said.

Moira then holds a press conference and tells everyone about the Undertaking and tells everyone to get out of the Glades. After the conference was over, she was arrested. Thea goes to find Roy in the Glades.

Meanwhile, people are rioting and trying to get out of the Glades. Thea finds Roy and they then help some people and then get out of the Glades.

Tommy can't believe that this was true but then Malcolm admitted to him that it was true and that he was doing it for Tommy's mother. Tommy was disgusted by this and tried to stop his father who knocked him out and then Malcolm took out a SWAT team as well.

Oliver and Diggle go after Malcolm together this time. While this is happening, Quentin is trying to disable the device with Felicity's help. He ends up turning the device off.

Oliver and Diggle are now fighting Malcolm and Diggle is hit so it ends up being just Oliver and Malcolm on the roof. They fight and it looks like Malcolm is going to win again.

"No matter how many times we fight, nothing will change Oliver. I am better than you. Do you know why that is?" Malcolm asked.

"No, but I am sure you are going to tell me." Oliver said.

"I know what I am fight for and you don't." Malcolm said.

"I will be going after your family soon enough Oliver." Malcolm said.

"I have to thank you Malcolm. I now know who I am fighting for." Oliver said as he stuck an arrow through his should which then went right into Malcolm's chest.

Oliver had finally beaten Malcolm and Felicity said through the comms that the device was disabled. Unfortunately, Malcolm had a backup plan and had a second device which went out. Malcolm then died and Oliver was in shock as the Glades was falling apart.

Oliver left Diggle there and tried to get to the Glades and help out in any way he could. Laurel had been at CNRI and the building was falling apart, and she was trapped under same concrete. Tommy showed up and helped her out. He was not able to get out though and he was impaled by some Re-bar. Oliver got there and was trying to help him get out of there.

"I was wrong about you Oliver. You aren't a murderer; you are a hero." Tommy said.

"Let's get you out of here." Oliver said.

"Did Laurel get out?" Tommy asked.

"Yeah, she did. You saved her." Oliver said.

"That's good. Continue to be the hero you are Oliver, and everything will be fine. I love you man." Tommy said and his eyes closed.

"Tommy, wake up!" Oliver said but it was to late. His best friend was dead. He then got up and left the building before anyone could see him there.

"I can't believe I die next year." Tommy said.

"That is why we are showing you all of this. So, that these things don't happen." Conner said.

"Well, I am glad that we know what is going on now so that we can stop it and hopefully we are all together for a long time to come." Laurel said.

"That sounds good to me." Tommy said and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Ok, so that was year one of dad being back at home. We will get into year two later on tonight." Mia said.
